2017 METALCASTER PROSPECTUS 2017 Metalcaster Prospectus


This annual publication, presented by Metal Casting Design & Purchasing magazine, serves as a tool buyers and designers can use when sourcing cast metal components. When working with metal casting suppliers, key indicators stand out among high quality facilities offering superior service. These include:


• Strong sales figures. • Willingness to allow plant visits and to answer questions openly. • Busy shop floor. • Clean, organized facility with clear walkways. • Emphasis on training and employee engagement. • Progressive capital investment plan.


Communicate expectations to casting suppliers to ensure components are produced in a manner that best fits their end use as well as the manufacturing process. The benefits of collaboration extend from concept through design and onto the shop floor in terms of time, cost and quality.
